LN512dCasPsa eltain$55 The growing pains continue. rt We refer ta waste management and, especialy recycling, which is not really a new process Dut O lYý recently adapted by many municipalities, including Whitby, ta divert waste from landf iii sites. Contaminated glass - ceramics such as tea cups, plates and same caps on bailles that should flot be included with glass that is to be recycled - resu lted in a backlog at the Durham Recycling Centre. Just a bit more care by same residents in collecting materials for recycling wauld help with that problemn and make the process easier at both the Durham Recycling Centre and the firms which later pracess that glass. Paper collectian has become a big hit in Ontaria, apparently leadlinp ta a glut on the Canadian market, resulting in shipments sauth of the Cana- Insehool dian barder and ta Euroipe at lawer prices than ta Canadiancompanies, tht price di ference made.up by gavernment subsidy luntil recently. A Canadian company accepts most of the paper from Durham Recycling Centre, and wýe wau Id hope that market conditions overaîl improve sa that paper collectian remains popular and with enaugh financial return ta warrant continuation. As for landfill, Durham Region made an un- successful first attempt With biodegradable garbage bags, an experiment that elicited negative comment tram Whitby councillar Joe Bugelli who recommen- ded more study 1oetore action. Now, the Region's northern municpaIities will try a new type of biodeg radable gî bage bag produced by the O ntario Corni Producers !Association. We are assured these bags will decompose - the experiment continues. fLeaf composting continues, and with an added site in Brock ToWnship. With the Region apparently flot getting maximum resuits tram its initial attempt at compostmng, ýa company with more expertise is monitoring the1 site in Whitby to produce better compost. The improvements continue. Residents are participating in recycling, and those working in the recyclin9 industry are streamlining the process and mfaking it work. Education an waste management should have been started much ear- lier, but we ar~ willing to, stay in school to make brighter our futi4re and our environment. Reader outraged at cô*ndom controversy To the editorn The latest educational issue is "should schools seli condomst' If teens can exert the energy te, engage in sexual practices, then can't they exert the energy te walk te, a drugstore? If they can't accesa a drugstore, why cant they go te the grocery store and camouflage their purchase with a bunch of bananas under cover of an IGA or Miracle Mart bag! And if parents cannot instill some moral fibre, some self-respect or sense of common sense in their offspring, let mom and pop purchese a few dozen condoms with the weely grocery order and put one or two each day in their little darling>s lunch bag. After all they've spared the rod and spoiled the child until puberty, se after a young life of non-rules, they can't expect te close the barn door after the herse is out. Now, at age five, when children are teld te, be sure and take their rubbers, they scof and twitter in glee, as this connotation in 1989 Non! selective tax ina-ppropriate To the editor. I have taken the liberty of sending copies of Deug Anderson's article (National Growth Tex, 30 August 1989) te Diane Francis of CBC's Momningside (and te Finance Minister Mfichael Wilson). I enclose a copy of the letter I sent te, Ms. Francis. Your colurans are always interesting and provocative, the highlight of the paper. Dear Diane, I listened with interest te your commente on ' Morningside' lest week,, that the government's policy of high interest rates te, control inflation is like using a shotgun, when a rifle would be more appropriate. While this policy might serve te cool down the overheated economy in Toronto, for example, it could be devastating te some of the less advantaged parts of the country. The diverse regions of the country need differential treatment. However, as argued by another member of the 'Morningside' panel lest week, it weuld net be possible te treat different regiens differently (L.e. with different levels of interest rates) because borrowers would simply borrow in provinces offring the lowest rates, neutralizing any positive effect.

The question remains, how can governinents be more- responsive to the individuel needs of different regions?

Deug Anderson (Whitby F'ree Press) proposes a variation of the GST which could be selectively applied in different regions and secters, te stimulate one region and slow down enother. I enclose a copy for your consideration. % Sinoerely, Cordon F. Brown Whitby .0, has nothing te do with rainy weather apparel. It is a trite slang expression for a prophylactic rubber safe or condom. And how much will it cost Joe Texpayer te support this pedophile promiscuity by providing this birth controa service in sehools? Probably millions if this is instituted across Canada. And then what about penal, mental and senior citizens' institutions? What's good for the goose is good for the gender. Our infamous educators agreed te take out any Christian references in the sehool curriculum te appease atheists and ethnic minorities. The Ten Commandments have been discarded in opening exercises and the Lord's Prayer is no longer mandatory. Children must have guidelines and young people and teens must learn self-control, self-respect and the laws of life and living . What did our ancesters do te maintain their ewn self-respect, their mental and moral health and their physical well being. They revered each other, they feared retribution from their peers and parente and they contemplated the result of their promiscuity - unwented pregnancy and unwanted offspring. To err is human, te forgive divine, but God gave man a brain and the power te discern right from wrong. AnimaIs procreated because they have no other choice- but by God's plan the animal kingdom mates with only one partner at a time and homosexual activity is practically non-eistent amongst animaIs because that is not normal according te the plan of the Creator! Please educators, educate, not teach te, fornicate, do not appease te please teens in trouble. Parents, set some limiùtations for your children. A stitch in time save nime.
